Is Red Dog right? Justin for PM?

Say what you will about the kid, he has charm. Unfortunately, I have to agree with RedDog.

See, even our Illustrious Leadress!

When I was younger one of the greatest compliments a guy could bear to hear about another guy was that the other guy was the guy that all the women wanted to be around, and all the other guys wanted to be. Times have changed. There is nothing about Justin Trudeau that I would want to be. But I understand that there it is.

And as the ark of the Liberal covenant with Canadians came into sight, Connie looked out her window and saw Justin dancing before the people, and she despised him in her heart. ... And Justin dealt to all the people, those of color and those of discernible specialness, promising unto them a cake of bread and a good piece of tax pie, and Connie came out said "how great was the King Justin today in his hat and boots, even before the daughters of the Oxbow", and the King said "I will be baser yet, til the daughters love me."

[Fairwarning]

Trudeaumania Part Deux is just around the corner. Weeping at his presence, falling at his feet, and difficulty breathing while trying to scream 'the leader!'. There also will be a few having trouble controlling their bladder.

First thing as PM.....scrap the word barbaric that describe honor killings in our immigration pamphlets.

Haha! I didn't say I would VOTE for him!

But, the sad fact is that voting is a popularity contest in many ways.

Harper isn't helping himself by trying to pass lawful access legislation, and by giving the opposition the middle finger with his omnibus budget bill. He is uniting the left against him, and it is over issues that his base doesn't necessarily support, either.

Throw a charming young leader into the mix, and we'll have Trudeau 2.0. Guaranteed.

[Brown envelope]

The media and elites have done a masterful job of dumbing down the public to the point where I think Justine Trud-Owe will win a majority. If Ontari-owe voters are dumb enough to keep Dolton McGuilty in, and Alberta voters dumb enough to keep Ali the Red in, anything is possible.

[Liberaltarian]

Other than being voted in because he shares his daddy's name what exactly are his qualifications? Anybody

What were Harper's qualifications?

I'm not to sure about Trudeau but if he can bring in a strong team of advisors and candidates, which he has the potential to do, I think he has the potential to form government.

[RedDog]

Soon everyone will be growing a mullet, wearing fur and paddling a canoe to work. Seat belts will be mandatory on horses and in canoes. Damien Troot-Owe II will dump his wife in favour of Ruth Ellen Brosseau, breaking RedDog's heart.

Troot-Owe and Brosseau win sexiest-hottest MPs. Romance is certain.

The arts groups are lining up with great anticipation for their new found benefactor.

[RedDog]

Watch for it - Grand Marshall of the Stampede Parade, after which Edmontonians will demand Alberta capital be moved to Calgary in awe. Anne McLellan will consider a comeback. The Rolling Stones will do a Canada only tour, their new album cover shot posing at Corner Gas location in Saskatchewan. Those belted in canoeing will drown safely when canoe capsizes. AIrbags will be mandatory on bicycles - training (safety) wheels now required even for adults. Pot smoking allowed and even encouraged in workplaces - now mandatory in Parliament. All mounties will be required to play drum kits at Dutch Creek, but must speak French doing it. President Jeb Bush will declare Canada "hip but lost". He will puff on a joint while saying this. Svend Robinson will consider sex with a female in tears after seeing Damien Troot-Owe II - Brosseau Vanity Fair cover shot.

Justin has a little charisma, mostly driven by his massive ego and overt narcissism. I doubt that's enough. It will most assuredly get him votes, but do not forget that Justin is an airhead. He is capable of extreme stupidity carried off with arrogance and the inability to prevent himself from being pompous. This may wash with dippers and die hard liebrals, but the majority of Canadians will be more amused than swayed.

Trudeau an unlikely Grit saviour

By JOHN ROBSON, QMI Agency

A surprising Abacus Data poll says the Liberals would vault from their third-place doldrums into a statistical tie with the Harper Tories atop the polls with Justin Trudeau as leader, leaving Mulcair's NDP eating red dust. Don't believe it. This poll shows he's cute, people have heard of him and the lad can punch. But not that he's the stuff political dreams are made of.

Of course, politics is full of surprises and, as Lyndon Johnson once memorably said of Richard Nixon, something else can turn into chicken salad overnight. Still, as with many odd proposals in life generally, I find myself wondering to what identifiable problem Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader is the solution.

The Liberals have no leader. OK, it would fix that.

The Liberals need a charismatic leader. OK again. Justin can be charming and disarmingly frank.

The Liberals need a brilliant leader. Oh oh. And it gets worse.

The Liberals haven't won a majority under an anglo leader since William Lyon Mackenzie King communed with his dead mother. No problem, in that Trudeau's not an anglo. But no solution either because:

The Liberals haven't won a majority of Quebec seats since 1981, because of Trudeau Sr.'s repatriation of the Constitution. The family name is about as magic there as in Alberta. (Oh, and they haven't won a majority of Western seats since 1949.) In short, the Liberals still think they're the big-tent, national-brokerage party but in the last four elections they've lost 138 seats and more than half their popular vote share in an alarmingly steady slide: from 172 MPs and 40.8% of the vote in 2000 to 135 MPs and 36.7% in 2004, 103 and 30.2% in 2006, 77 and 26.3% in 2008 and 34 and 18.9% in 2011........................http://www.lfpress.com/comment/2012/07/06/19959771.html

... mostly driven by his massive ego and overt narcissism.

Look what those qualities have done for Obama. I expect two autobiographies from Damien Troot-Owe II in the next two years. They'll prepare him to be emperor for life by the next election. Women will scream hysterically in the streets, as though His father was one of the Beatles. Rioting marchers in Montreal will sprint like Olympians back to classes to hear wildly exciting tales of His life.

I disagree. He won't be Emperor for life. He'll be Prime Minister and then President (of whatever's left, having finished his father's work in dismantling Canada in any recognizable form). Parliament will perhaps grant him the honorary title of President for life, or Father of the Country, but not Emperor.
